Ultra-processed food: what it does to your body at the cellular level

Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down what ultra-processed foods actually do inside your body—from how emulsifiers degrade your gut barrier to how high-heat cooking accelerates cellular aging—using recent research from institutions like Harvard and The BMJ. Rather than shame or oversimplify, they acknowledge the real cost and access barriers while offering concrete, science-backed strategies: the "five unrecognizable ingredients" rule, the power of adding fiber-rich foods, and why dietary pattern matters more than individual food choices. Listeners will walk away understanding the specific cellular mechanisms at play and one or two practical ways to shift their baseline eating habits without overhaul or guilt.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show:  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow  📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com  Powered by VoxCrea.AI
